Crusty home baked bread rolls with a surprise filling. Yesterday's snack project is this morning's breakfast. Makes a change from all the North Indian feasts I have been overdosing on to deal with the icy cold here. Thank you so much for all your lovely comments, I appreciate them SO much!

This is the heavenly chutney masala pav at amar juice centre. I can have atleast three plates of these at one go! The special thing about this dish is it does not have onion and tomato pieces at all, instead it has a nice fine chutney paste which is buzzing with flavors! #masalapav#foodblogger#foodgasm

Pav Bhaji is the quint-essential Mumbai street food! It’s a spicy preparation of mashed vegetables, a generous dose of fresh tomatoes, a d ollop of butter and consumed with pav, which is usually buttered on all sides.

Sounds Yummy doesn’t it?

The history of the pav bhaji is as delicious as the dish itself. As per popular folklore, it originated back in the 1850’s when textile mills flourished in Mumbai. Textile workers, who didn’t have a lot of time to eat their lunch, wanted a light meal as they had to return to their physical work.

A person saw this problem and in true mumbaiya sense came with a jugaad. He replaced the roti with a pav and the curry with a spicy concoction of vegetables. And thus Pav Bhaji was born!
